Scope
Aims, scope and focus
SAMAI is an online Polish academic journal in the field of classical antiquity and early middle ages, symbolically until the age of Charlemagne. It is published in the Institute of History, University of Wrocław, drawing upon the tradition of the Antiquitas, a long-lasting series within Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis, although in legal sense SAMAI is independent from the Antiquitas. Acting within this tradition, SAMAI is primarily concerned with ancient history, first of all with history of ancient Greece and Rome. SAMAI welcomes also texts dealing with history of Europe, Asia and Africa in early middle ages, especially if their topic relates somehow to classical antiquity.
